Spirit of the Times Lyrics

I've come from london town
but you know it really gets me down
I think I've done my time there
and I really don't want to die there
I've lived in paris france
the scene of my first great romance
black roadster on the driveway
I thought I had arrived

it's my life
the spirit of my times
the zeitgeist
the spirit of my times

the spirit of the times
the spirit of the times

you could say I've been an island man
a rocky shoreline hard to land in india
the caribbean
my red eyes in time for sunrise

it's my life
the spirit of my times
the zeitgeist
spirit of my times
spirit of the times
spirit of the times
spirit of the times

baker man baker man bake me a cake
bake me a cake just as fast as you can make it
baker man baker man bake me a cake
bake me a cake just as fast
just fast as you can

and now that I'm in hollywood
I feel that here I'm understood
there's fifty minutes to the hour
and twelve steps to every ivory tower

spirit of the times
spirit of the times
spirit of the times
prefects from birmingham
chamberlain's birmingham
christ wasn't perfect
he could have been from birmingham
rotunda
new street
jasper carrot's birmingham
tiswas
rum runner
swordfish up the alleyway
steel pulse
bob lamb's
moseley inna birmingham
underworld in our world
minutes up the motorway

barbarellas
barbarellas
barbarellas
barbarellas
barbarellas
barbarellas
